Sean's Blog - Adventures 1 1/2 - About Orange Juice

About orange juice. In Spanish they call it Jugo de Naranja. In other places, I have no idea what they call it. If anyone knows, put it in the comment box to me and I will put it in the next blog.

Orange Juice is very yummy. It is my most favourite drink in the whole wide world. There are three kinds of things that you need in an orange juice for me to like it.

1) It needs to be super sour.

2) There needs to be lots of ice in it and a straw.

3) It needs to be freshly squeezed and cold.

Those are all the things you need to make my kind of orange juice. In Belize, Guatemala, Costa Rica and Honduras, they have green oranges instead of orange oranges. So if you ever go to those places, get green oranges because those are the sour kind and there are also some orange oranges and the orange oranges are the sweet kind. At other places I don't know what colours they are.. purple, red, blue…white..I don't know. But the only downfall is that my brother doesn't like orange juice. He likes that nasty stuff called Pop. Anyways, back to orange juice. Later in the story we are going to learn about the history of Orange juice and who was the first person to make the orange squeezer and who was the first one to grow oranges. Okay, back to me. Every restaurant I go to, I always order orange juice. Sometimes I like the orange juice and sometimes I don't like it. Sometimes, instead of using freshly squeezed orange juice they use this weird stuff called Tang. Sometimes it is so delicious I want to go into the back and drink every last orange and orange juice. And other times, it is horrible. It's so sweet I can't even taste the orange. And all they do is put in lots of sugar and use that weird stuff called Tang. And if you have watched "annoying orange" on YouTube, you'll know what the first answer is on the quiz questions. Now to the history of ORANGE JUICE!

The first people to grow oranges were the Chinese and oranges have vitamin C in it and would stop scurvy. The first person to make an orange squeezer was Dr. Norman Walker in 1930's. The crusaders brought the oranges to Italy in the 11th century and they were used for medical uses. The Franscicans and Sailers brought over oranges to America from the 1500's to the 1700's.
